The Adam McPhee Memorial Foundation

Proceeds from HIGHNOTE will benefit the Adam McPhee Memorial Foundation.

Adam was born with disabilities, but that did not stop him from making his mark. He was the first student to enter Epping High School with a special inclusion program. Adam completed his years at Epping High School and participated in graduation in 1999.

Adam touched many lives, raising empathy and awareness of the contributions people with disabilities can make to the world around us.

Adam died in the fall of 1999 at the age of 21. To honor Adam the McPhee family started a fund to give a scholarship, each year, to a graduating senior from Epping High School. A permanent foundation was also created, which provides grants for programs and organizations that promote inclusion. Since its inception in 2000, the Adam McPhee Memorial Foundation has raised $100,000 and has given numerous grants to local organizations.

The annual Highnote Festival (est.2001) is a fund raiser, a way for the McPhee family to remember Adam with laughter and fun on the farm. Please join us!
